Stories and art by Bernie Krigstein, Mort Leav, M. Seymour, and Mort Lawrence. A post-war, pre-Code romance comic from pioneering female publisher Rae Herman of Orbit-Wanted (who doubled as Love Diary's advice columnist, Ray Mann). Vacationing at a resort, Laurie pretends to be wealthy to attract rich Ted, but band leader Jock likes her the way she is. Jim is living dangerously when he splits with nurse Victoria to date femme-fatale sculptor Beth. Pathological liar Beth endangers both her romance with Donald and her father's life with her falsehoods, in an early story by future EC art legend Bernie Krigstein. Also, a fitness PSA by Krigstein, for which his wife Natalie served as the model.
